Al-Khatib Al-Shirbini (d. 977 AH) and his exegetical notes on Surah Al-Fatihah

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the interpretive notes of Al-Khatib Al-Shirbini (d. 977 AH) in his interpretation of Al-Siraj Al-Munir, examples from Surat Al-Fatihah. It becomes clear that these notes represent an authentic scientific aspect of Al-Shirbini’s interpretive methodology, as they were not merely passing digressions, but rather came to reflect the depth of his vision, the breadth of his knowledge, and the accuracy of his observation in his treatment of some interpretation texts of the Qur’anic text, which contributed to refuting some of the problems.
